Chapter 156: Withdrawal (Part II)

Jingzhou is a prosperous place.

Since the founding of Dayan. There are thirteen counties under the ancient Jingzhou.

The imperial court was declining day by day, and the princes of various feudal towns were in their own ways, even Jingzhou.

The governor of Gangneung is Zheng Pingyuan, who was born in a family, and the seat of governance established by Zheng Pingyuan is in Gangneung. In the first county of Jiangling, there is Hengchong County.

Hengchong County is the birthplace of the Zheng family, where the Zheng family is the first family, accounting for almost half of the county's land, which is very helpful to Zheng Pingyuan's rule.

There are many people in Hengchong County, and the land is fertile. It can be described as a land of abundance.

Hengchong County is very tall and sturdy, because Zheng Pingyuan is from a family, and there are many businesses in the family. Business in this place. It is not restricted by the government, and the development is very rapid.

In the county seat, the streets are really clean and tidy, extending in all directions, and the streets leading to some areas are semi-martial law.

Follow the southern city and take a straight road until you reach the de facto aristocratic quarter. Calling this place an aristocratic district is actually because the residences in this area are all owned by families and officials, and they are not ordinary people if they pull out any of them.

In order to protect these people from being disturbed, the soldiers patrolling this area are more frequent than in other places. The force that came was strong.

The innermost part of the area, the best place in the area. There is a very large mansion, and the gold plaque on the large mén symbolizes the identity of the owner of the house.

Stay here. It is Zheng Pingyuan's real home.

As if to show the Zheng family. The exterior of this mansion does not look gorgeous.

Once inside. The elegance of the carved columns, the luxury under the deliberate simplicity, anyone who has eyes. will not turn a blind eye.

The stone lions on both sides of the stone steps "are made of strong materials, and the sword can not leave a mark when cut down."

If a feng shui master sees this, he will be amazed, this lion and the house are connected together, forming a good feng shui pattern.

On weekdays, in the mansion, there are constantly patrolling sergeants, as well as standing on both sides of the big mén, they are all loyal and reliable sergeants selected from the Jingzhou army, "standing guard and patrolling here in order to protect the safety of the mansion."

Today, horse-drawn carriages, which usually line up in front of the mén, crowd the streets in front of the mansion, and the guards at the entrance of the mansion "have increased considerably more than usual."

There is no need to mention the guards in the mansion, and the warm atmosphere of the banquet can be felt even outside the hall where the banquet is held.

"That drunken fish, haven't you come up yet?" A middle-aged man wrapped in a medium-sized fabric and dressed in the appearance of a high-class person was standing outside the hall where the banquet was held, "cautiously and earnestly admonishing the slaves who came in and out. Seeing that the drunken fish hadn't come up yet, "I couldn't help but call someone in a hurry," he asked.

"Butler, this dish will be ready right away. It's too hard to make dozens of servings at once. The young man who was stopped replied.

The housekeeper frowned slightly: "Lao Wang's specialty dish." I like it the most, and this time I will hold a banquet. I specially ordered that one should be placed on every table. If it can't be sent for a long time, I'm afraid that the Lord will be unhappy again. You hurry to the stove. Tell Lao Wang to hurry up, this is not a weekday dinner, so the guests are in a hurry, even I can't protect him!"

"Yes, butler, xiǎo is going to urge Uncle Wang to go!" The young man was also a little flustered when he heard this, and hurriedly ran away, presumably to urge the vegetables.

The butler didn't have time to stare at the other party, there were still many things in front of him, and he would command this matter in a while. After a while, I was tired of it, and after a while, I was relieved to see that the rest of the drunken fish were all sent over.

The Lord has always been good-looking, and if he messes up something while he is entertaining his guests, he will be punished twice as much afterwards.

"Hey, why haven't the dancing girls arrived yet? You went over to urge them! When have they been, they are still grinding, are they really the xiǎo sisters of the big family?

"Butler, they're here!" Fortunately, at this time, from the corner mén, came a group of young NVs dressed in tulle and with beautiful facial features, all of whom were elegant in temperament and a little innocent.

is different from the general businessmen, the owner's hobby is NV with a bit of unworldly temperament. Dancing the white veil, dancing and dancing, that kind of beauty, as if it has not been contaminated with the atmosphere of the earth, with the elegant sound of the piano in the banquet, it is really a kind of enjoyment.

In this era, how many of the dancers in a lowly position are really simple?

"Lord Steward, the slave is late. Please don't blame the housekeeper. "Delicate soft words. Even the butler, who was still disdainful of anger just now, couldn't help but be a little less angry.

Glancing at them, the butler said coldly, "Those who have come today are all distinguished guests of the Lord. There must be no mistakes in the performance inside, otherwise it won't be as simple as being kicked out, understand?"

"Remember the teachings of the housekeeper!" the young NV responded softly, their voices low and crisp. It's really pleasing to the ear.

"Let's go in!" the butler waved to let them go.

Less NV light fish rush in. In the hall, the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo sounded.

Gradually, the laughter of the guests came out.

Listening to it, the banquet inside went very smoothly. It can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The housekeeper stood outside and heard this. My heart was slightly relieved, but when I caught a glimpse of the horn, my face sank again.

"The marshal is in the hall, entertaining guests, what are you doing here?" Stopped an old sergeant who hurried to this side, and the butler said lightly.

, "I have a major military situation, and I want to report it to the commander." The sergeant said anxiously.

"Is that true?" To be able to serve as a housekeeper in Zheng Pingyuan's mansion, naturally he would not be a stupid person, and when he heard the sergeant say this, the butler's expression froze.

I wanted to drive this person out temporarily, so as not to spoil the Lord's interest, but if there is really any urgent military affairs to report to the Lord, he will destroy it, and the consequences will be really bad.

Thinking of this, the butler stared at the sergeant and reminded, "If the matter is not so urgent, it is not just me. You will be punished too!".

"Don't dare to deceive the housekeeper, there is indeed a major military situation" I must immediately report to the commander! It is related to the Shu army!". In order to increase credibility, "the sergeant revealed a rare piece of information.

Now, the housekeeper won't stop it!

"You wait here for the time being, and I'll go up to the Lord!" the butler ordered. Hurried towards the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he was greeted by the beautiful dancing posture of the eyes, where did the housekeeper still have the leisure to see these, he walked a few steps, came to Zheng Pingyuan's side, and whispered a few words.

Zheng Pingyuan's face changed, signaling everyone to go as usual, he got up and followed the housekeeper out of the hall.

"Come with me here...... Zheng Pingyuan led the way. Until he came to the corner with the sergeant and asked, "Tell me, what's the news?......

The sergeant turned over and bowed down, "The news that Yiling has been surrendered was reported to Zheng Pingyuan, and Zheng Pingyuan heard this, and it was just, "Ge,." For a moment, but when the Shu army attacked Shangyong by surprise" and the news of the occupation came out. Zheng Pingyuan's face suddenly turned iron-blue.

"Stand down." ”。 Zheng Pingyuan was not angry, but just said.

The sergeant hurriedly retreated.

After the sergeant left, Zheng Pingyuan returned to the banquet again, still with a faint smile on his face. But the mood was obviously low.

Guests attending a banquet. And how many are not sharp?

Seeing that the owner was in a bad mood, "they naturally didn't stay here for too long, and after eating, they dispersed one after another." Until the last guest is sent away" Zheng Pingyuan has always maintained a calm face, a crack appeared!

"The general trend of the world has also changed accordingly."

Often, a unified dynasty collapses because of too many defects, and the world falls apart, and it becomes a situation of competing heroes. History brews a new unity in the chaos.

Although the deer is in the Central Plains, it can really participate in the group of deer. But it is not more than the Central Plains, but tends to the four corners.

Historically, most of the forces that finally completed the great cause of unifying the world tended to be in four corners. Starting from the dangerous place of mountains and rivers, it first has one or two corners, accumulates strength, and then expands to the two wings, develops to the Central Plains, and enterplies the world.

Zheng Pingyuan also knew this, but now, the rapid rise of the Shu army made him feel a huge threat, and Wang Hongyi had already revealed his long knife to Jingzhou!

After settling down, Zheng Pingyuan commanded, "Go to Jiangling and invite Mr. Zhang to come......

After a pause, he said, "Invite Mr. Ji here......

Speaking, no more words.

At this time, there was a chūn rain last night, and it cleared today.

The winter winds have not been completely extinguished. With a chill, "I saw that after the order was delivered, there were only a few people waiting nearby, and there were also personal soldiers.

Everyone knows Zheng Pingyuan's temper. At this time, no one stepped forward to provoke discomfort.

Ji Gyu was nearby, listened to the order, strode over, and when he arrived at the mouth of Mén, he suddenly felt that it was too fast. I slowed down again, and then I realized that there were three steps, one sentry, and five steps and one post. There were some pro-soldiers standing, and my heart was a pang.

Ji Gui saw a man kneeling not far away, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he saw the butler waving, busy, and said, "What's the matter?", "The Lord is not happy to hear the news" You go in and be careful...... This man has no eyesight, and has been rebuked by the Lord......

Ji Gyu nodded and walked inside silently.

At this time, Zheng Pingyuan was looking at the blue sky, looked at Ji Gui, and smiled: "You are here." ”。

As he spoke, he paced and said slowly, "Do you know the news?"

Seeing this, Ji Gui secretly admired it in his heart. "Yes!" Zheng Pingyuan had a cold smile on his face. "You know, you don't need to say more, what do you think about this?,。

, "Lord, Shu is in the upper reaches of Jing, and now Wang Hongyi is sweeping with the momentum of Pingshu. Each sent tens of thousands of troops, to get Shangyong and Yiling, this is both land and water, one is broken, then the upper and lower Jingzhou up and down the shock, the situation is very bad......

"This is said thoroughly, now it is up and down to attack together" water and land are down, and the whole thorn is shaken!". Zheng Pingyuan stood on his feet and looked into the distance: "Hmph, Wang Hongyi is really ambitious, he wants to take my Jingzhou in one fell swoop!"

Ji Gui shuddered. Seeing Zheng Pingyuan's face full of sneers, he hurriedly said, "The lord doesn't have to be in a hurry. The minister's wisdom is shallow, he can analyze but it is difficult to come up, and he can't think of ideas for a while. Mr. Zhang is here, and we will add up the total, and we will come up with a good plan for the Lord. Hearing this, Zheng Pingyuan was a little relieved, Ji Gui is magnanimous, not fighting for merit and not jealous, it can be seen from this sentence, nodded and said, "This can only be done."
